Michael Rooker has hinted that there will be a sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy, revealing how he was told to ‘be patient’ when he asked why certain plot strands are not being used for the first film.

Rooker, who plays expert archer Yondu in the upcoming superhero film, talked about the possibility of a follow-up at Dragon Con.

‘When I first got the role of Yondu, Gunn was like, ‘Don’t read any of the comics!’ but it’s beautiful stuff,’ the actor told SuperHeroHype.

‘Whenever you do a film of comic book characters and stuff you don’t know how much you can show, you don’t know how much is going to be brought out. Nowadays movies are done and they already have two or three others planned out.

‘So stuff you do in this one, you ask ‘Why aren’t we doing this?’ and they say, ‘Well be patient!”
